Commissioners' Court.

The board of county commissioners have been in session this week, but no great bulk of business has been transacted by the three custodians for the county’s] affairs. In the petitions fori highways one was granted to Simon P. Thompson et al. in Union township, as follows: Commencing at the northeast corner 28-30-7. running due west one mile, thence south one mile to the northwest corner sec. 33, said township and range. John Clager et al also wanted a new roadway, which was granted, with the following description: Commencing 80 rods west of the ne. corner 12-30-7, thence south two miles. There were also several peti tions for ditches, the cost of which ranged in amount from *IOO to *3OO. and none only of minor importance. The privilege of selling intoxicating liquor was granted to George A. Strickfadden and James F. Ellis. But few bills have been allowed up to the time of publication, the full number of which only amounted to *353.37. The Waukarusha ditch case will come up before the board on Monday. September 18. and the Gifford ditch case will be brought before them on Wednesday, September 13.

The passenger traffic over the Monon lias been enormous this week. On Monday, from this place, there were 139 tickets sold to the G. A. li. .encampment at Indianapolis. The 10:45 train on Jiat day was run in three sections, as was also, the 12:32 train for the south, and ■each section \vas crowded tp its utmost capacity. The traffic in the direction of the World's Fair city was not diminished to any ex lent, as a large number of persons availed themselves of i be cheap rates to see the sights ? here. The eminent specialist, Dr. Mau-o-wa. will be at the Makeever House, in Itensselaer. on Wednesday. .September 20, 1893. He comes highly recommended by his many friends all over the state. His -success in treating chronic diseases borders upon the miraculous. He proposes to (pi"‘ the first month's treatment free io tdl mho /naif come. • He will only make a small charge for the medicine used, as it can not be procured at the drug stores.

G. A. R. Encampment.

The annual national encampment of the ’'Boysin Blue” has been in session at Indianapolis this week, and that city has certainly done justice to the occasion by the handsome manner she is entertaining these old heroes. The city, never before, has been as elaborately decorated as on this occasion, and the citizens of Indiana are proud that she is doing the work of hostess so I nicely. The towns on the railroads entering Indianapolis are also trying to do -themselves honor by lavishly decorating all along the line. It is estimated that there were 200,001) visitors in the city this week. The parade on Tuesday was a grand affair and fully showed that the “boys” had not forgotten their martial days. There were near 50,000 men in line, together with hundreds of bands of music to make merry the occasion. It is said that their encampment is the largest that has ever been held or that would ever be held. Soon these old soldiers will pass away to the final roll call and then we, the younger generation, can only look back upon the pages of history, where their names and deeds are written in the blood of many battle fields.

Some New Stars.

There is always something new under the sun. We should always be prepared for surprises. We wish to announce the organization of the Martin Clark Dramatic Company, of this city, whose youthful managers have taken upon themselves the task of furnishing our people legitimate dramatic productions. The first play which they produce bears the euphonius title of, “Jealousy Has Driven Her to Her Fate.” The first rendition of the play should have occurred last Wednesday evening, at • ‘Gladbrook’sßarn,” but owing to several obstacles, it was postponed until next Bab urday evening.

The rule of the potato bug is about ended, if the story of an eastern farm paper is correct. Another beetle has made its appearance and kills off the potato bug whenever it encounters one. It will be interesting to know, meantime, what the new bug is doing among the potato vines, as his advent is certainly not for the sole purpose of slaying the potato bug.

Made An Assignment.

It is with a sense of regret that we announce the business failure of Ralph Fendig, of this city, who has made an assignment, with his son, B. F. Fendig, as assignee. The thing has been looked for for some time and the event was not an unexpected one, but at last he was compelled to succumb in order to make a proper disposal of his property to satisfy creditors. As to the exact amount of the liabilities we cannot state, but they will reach near 812,000. We hope for the welfare of Mr. Fendig, that everything he has may not be sacrificed to meet his liabilities.

A somewhat serious fire occurred about six miles south of this place last Tuesday. It originated between the farms of Mark Lewis and M- A. Dewey, and traversed about three or four sections of land sweeping almost everything in its path, burning up hay and straw stacks, farming implements, etc. At the time of writing the fire was still pushing on and will no doubt do a great amount of damage.

Dissolution of Partnership.

The firm heretofore known as Dwiggins Bros. & Co. has this day been dissolved by mutual consent. The firm hereafter will be known as F. J. Sears & Co., successors in the Real Estate, Loan and Abstract business. Rensselaer, Ind., May 1, 1893.

W. H. McDoel, general manager of the Monon lines was in Indianapolis recently, traveling in his private car, which got out of repair, and it became necessary to repair it there. Wishing to go to Delphi, McDoel boarded one of the regular trains and took a seat in the smoking room of the parlor cars. Soon the conductor came in and called for his fare. McDoel handed him $1.65 for his fare. The conductor seems to have not known McDoel, and naturally supposed that he had, with his private car, been left behind at Indianapolis. Thinking this a good opportunity to test the conductor’s honesty, McDoel looked after his train report when it was turned in and found that no cash fare paid to Delphi was shown. He called the attention of Gen’l. Supt. Collins to the fact, and the conductor is now out of a job.— Michigan City Dispatch. From general appearances and all reports, the smallpox scare seems to have subsided into inocuous desitude, and there need be entertained as to the further spread of the disease from the so called case that was here. Careful investigation has been made and there are no traces of it left. The child from Muncie that was here is reported as nearly recovered from the disease, so that our citizens should have no fear of the spread of that malady in this vicinity. One word describes it—“perfection,” We refer to DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well known cure for piles. A. F. Long & Co. I

A Card From Hammond Bros.

Having sold out our implement business, we desire to thank our many patrons for favors shown us in the past. We would also respectfully request those owing us to call at the Citizens State Bank, where we will be very glad to see you at your earliest possible convenience. Again thanking you, we remain, Yours truly, Hammond Bros. , The election last T uesday in Gillam township for the purpose of electing three commissioners for the Gifford drainage district, which includes the territory of North Barkley, South Walker and West Gillam, resulted as follows: John W. Baker, one year; W. H. Robinson, two years; Geo. H. Brown, Jr., three years. From recent reports, the election of these gentlemen seems to meet the aoprobation of voters interested.

Reports are coming in from points along the Monon, and other roads as well, that considerable damage is being done by fire. One day this week, H. W. Porter, in coming from Hammond to this place, over the Monon, saw and counted over fifty hay and straw stacks that were burning, besides other damages being done to barns, fences and out buildings. The loss by fire, no doubt will amount to considerable. F. C. Castile and Isaac and Grant Woolford, of Tipton, were in town last week, prospecting for farms. They will be back shortly and expect to purchase farms and move here if they can get land to suit. They are active People’s party men and will add three votes to the party in this county should they locate here.

A South «Bend professor discarded his old fashioned keywinding watch and purchased a stem-winder. Before retiring that night he spent two hours in winding the timepiece. Next morning it stopped running and a friend discovered that the professor had been winding it backwards.— Valparaiso Star.

Will Be Buried Alive.

A dispatch from Hillsboro, 111., says that the mind reader, A. J. Seymore, is generally known in Illinois and his proposed attempt to be buried and remain in the ground while a crop of barley is grown on his grave creates interest in that, state. Dr. E. C. Dunn, of Rockford, has been selected as manager. Dr. Dunn says: There is no question that this feat can be performed. I have seen it performed successfully three times in India at Allahabad, Delhi and Benares.” For several days Seymore will be fed upon a diet of fat and heat producing food. He will then throw himself into a cateleptic .state, the lungs will be filled with pure air to their fullest capacity, and the tongue placed back and partially down the throat in such a manner as to completely close the aperature to the lungs. The eyes, the nose and the ears will be hermetically sealed with wax. After parafine has been spread over the entire body to close the pores it will be ready for burial. The body will be put in an extra large casket. This will be placed inside of another and both will be perforated in order that if any poisonous gases exude from the body they may make their escape and be absorbed by the soil. The interment is to be made in a clay soil.
